But I doubt the result will be good........

Bharti and Optus are not doing well.......

It may be good. As Motley fool or some report says Singtel payment of dividend may catch up with Star Hup or even M1.

Despite the weaker result, SingTel said it will pay a final dividend of 10 Singapore cents a share, up from 9.0 Singapore cents a year ago.:- Reuter.
So wonder how some "report" knew before hand.

Despite weaker result, today opening price is @$4.0 and backed by 2407K in volume by 9:07. So is it due to what? 1 cent more dividend makes so much different meh? Any expert analyst like to tell me?

Yet to go into detail of the report, but Mr. Market reacts positively on the result...

SingTel’s fourth-quarter profit falls 33% on stake sale, taxes

SINGAPORE — Singapore Telecommunications Ltd. (ST), Southeast Asia’s biggest phone company, reported that fourth-quarter profit fell 33 per cent after taking a loss on a stake sale and paying higher taxes.

Net income declined to S$868 million in the three months ended March from S$1.29 billion a year earlier, Singapore-based SingTel said in a statement today. Sales fell 6.3 per cent to S$4.5 billion.

Higher earnings from SingTel’s affiliates in Indonesia and Thailand limited the impact of a falling contribution from Bharti Airtel in India, which posted a 49 per cent drop in profit on higher interest and network costs. The Singapore phone company expanded fourth-generation services in the city-state in April and its Optus unit bought airwaves in Australia last week as they expand mobile networks to compete better.

The company said revenue this year will be little changed while earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation will rise by a “low single digit level.”

when defensive stocks are no longer defensive

In this current market yes if only on pricing.

Results no good but Mr Market prices Singtel even higher, LOL

Normal time, with this weak report, without much ado, the market will punish the stock's price. We are not in normal time now. Anyway sentiments (emotions) always over rule logic most of the time in anything. A super sale-man can vouch for that. Emotions always sell not logic.
